The Dicepool Tavern

To paraphrase another good author: The words must flow!

I just want the universe to know I've written 23k+ words in less than a week after a drought of nothing for months 🤘

Is it fanfiction? Yes.
Am I having fun? Yes.

I'm trying to take my small wins where I can get them ♡

As an Australian, I concur 💀 they are terrifying 😭 but I adore them as a concept, so I can still write about them yay! XD

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 4/1: Something terrifying in my world? Well I suppose that is subjective, but my plotline does involve giant spider-style creatures that are terrifying, deadly, and used for meat in a pinch if you can't find anything else to eat.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 3/1: Something grand or majestic in my world? Probably the Ice Lands. It's something I'd like to develop further some other time (atm they're kinda like an expansion pack for funsies lmao in a TTRPG) But yeah, the whole place is basically made of ice, but completely livable!

#JanuaryWorldbuilders 2/1: Something I intend to keep a mystery from the reader?

Well that's difficult because honestly, naming it would mean its less mysterious :P

Nah, the mastermind behind most events across my timeline, they'll probably stay mysterious overall for a long while... maybe ><

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Hey guys I made it back, and just in time - I think?

I'm Mechkura/Ash and I run The Dicepool Tavern! I create multiple worlds, usually contactable somehow alongside one another but currently my focus is on #Vethera. It is a world similar to Earth, but not quite the same.

The sky is night and there's lots of blues and purples.

It's almost time for #JanuaryWorldbuilders! Here's the list for the upcoming month. If you've been with us for a while, you might think some of these questions were on other months. And you're right. I'm reorganizing some of the questions to better avoid conflict with other prompts!

#WIPSnips 1/1: Begin

Nodding as he watched her begin to wander off, walking backwards as they bid each other farewell, Manson called out, “I look forward to it!” - Demons in Dunraven #WitchChild

I felt it was time for a little overhaul of the graphic, and what better time to do it than on January 1st?

The #WIPSnips word for January 1st is "begin"

I've started this but I wanna restart it. With my incredibly busy schedule this week of both work shifts and personal events/Christmas Prep, I fully expect DRA to be late over the next two weeks.

Just a heads up :)

I need to do more out there things, reaching out and committing and what not. Balancing that with not over committing though, also an important thing I'm working on!

Living with the anxiety of "will I get an answer or won't I? Did they see it? Did their email think I was just spam? Are there bigger plans at play that I am too small a fry to know of being in the works already?" Have been somewhat driving me up a wall, but I will survive 🥰

So I did a thing.
I thought it was a great cool idea (and honestly I still find it very enjoyable to muse on!)

But I don't think anything will come of it.

And that's okay! Even if it's briefly glimpsed by the people I sent it to, then I can rest knowing I've shown that I support their craft ♡

Patrick Warburton and his sons recite Kronk lines from ‘The Emperor's New Groove’ in honor of the film's 25th anniversary

Today's #DiceRollArt prompt is Number 28: Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V! Drawing coming later this week ♡

Definitely a good alternative!

I think I went with proudly exclaimed for the moment though 🤔 it's supposed to be a positive force visually screaming against the dark sights and sounds, but uh, when there are literal screams involved I didn't wanna overuse the word xD

Everyone has their strengths 😂

I love that Grilled is like 'I ain't telling the evil version it's weaknesses, that's just plain dumb' in the narration, it's perfect ^-^

Trying to edit some of my book and I'm finding more notes to myself that I'd forgotten about :D

- Magpies! Always need more magpies!!!
- Find an alternative for screamed. That's what the voices are doing.

Two monitors, my laptop screen and a drawing tablet 🥰

My desk setup is nearly recompleted. I feel more at peace with access to this part of my personage once again... Even though it also increases my executive dysfunction with an overwhelming selection of options on 'what should I do now?'

In an attempt to change my luck and get things back on track, I opened a new tube of dice. And my first ever roll, with these silver-blue mottle math rocks... Is a number I've already drawn for 😂 This week's #DiceRollArt is going to be Number 33 - #PaperMario The Origami King
